Simple Spin Models for the Development of Ocular Dominance Columns and Iso-Orientation Patches

Abstract

Simple classical spin models well-known to physicists as the ANNNI and Heisenberg XY Models. in which long-range interactions occur in a pattern given by the Mexican Hat operator. can generate many of the structural properties characteristic of the ocular dominance columns and iso-orientation patches seen in cat and primate visual cortex.
